Hi everybody. Today there´s the third and last part of words that are the same in both languages. Finally we´ll see the letters R to Z.

There are not much left, although there are a lot of words that are not exactly but almost the same. But this is another story. As always, don´t forget that the pronunciation is different in most cases!

Here we go:

My name is Jan and I live in the south west of Germany. My profession is being a project manager at a company that creates digital media (first of all internet related things).
This is my job since over a decade so I´m quite familiar with the web and its tools. Whereat today almost every school kid does. But that´s one of the main reasons why nowadays there are quasi no more limits in the internet and so it can be used for all imaginable types of things. For example learning languages! And that´s where we are at the moment.
I first got in touch with Transparent Language when my family and I used to live in France a couple of years ago. I just had a break from work and by coincidence I produced some cultural videos in French. A few months later the whole blogging thing came up and I was lucky to be a part of it. So now my (second) job is to feed you with information, exercises, vocabulary, grammar and stories about Germany and German language. For being a passionate videographer I´m trying to do this more and more by videos.
If you have any wishes or needs of topics that should be treated here, please don´t hesitate to contact me via a comment field.
I´m open to your suggestions (as long as they are not too individual) and will try to satisfy your needs.

well, to be honest, I don´t know either! You´re right, Waldsterben means forest death. When I made the research, I also thought that this is pretty strange. But you know, “Kindergarten” doesn´t sound English as well. So I thought, maybe it´s just a strange coincident lile Kindergarten and really right 😉

The German word “Waldsterben” came up in
in Germany around 1980 in discussions about
the environment. The terms “waldsterben” and
“le waldsterben” were then used as loanwords in political and ecological discussions in English, resp. French.
